“I can still sort of lift a spoon to eat, but it’s a shaky, exhausting process because the ALS makes my arms too weak. My mom has recently been lifting food to my mouth for me, but we just tried out this little guy. It’s called an OBI robot, and I was lucky enough to have it on loan from our local ALS Network. It’s pretty helpful. It frees my mom to do other things and I can eat at my own pace. Erin here, diagnosed at 23 with limb onset ALS. Which means my arms were ground zero with my first symptoms. (I noticed I couldn’t open jars anymore) ALL HAIL THE NERDS” ???

Pediatric Trial Success!! ??? "Today we got to bring home a trial for the Obi for one week! This device allows Kerrigan to feed herself! ???? I had big tears in my eyes when she was able to get the food off the spoon. She was a rockstar from the very first bite and I know she will continue doing great with it! We all know Kerrigan is motivated by food so this is the perfect tool! This will bring her so much independence and you can tell how happy and proud of herself she is to be able to feed herself. This girl will accomplish anything she sets her mind to.” Interested in a Pediatric Trial for a client or a loved one? Contact us! https://lnkd.in/e36hn2iF Go Kerrigan go!!! ???

"Using Assistive Technology (AT) is a large part of occupational therapy and I’m so excited to be collaborating with Obi for this video! The Obi is a revolutionary adaptive eating device for individuals with upper extremity strength and mobility limitations. ? It is customizable and incredibly easy to use. ? ??? This amazing device can help promote independence, social engagement, and autonomy during mealtime! Insurance coverage varies depending on where you are located and your insurance plan."

"Eating a meal as a quadriplegic is a bit different. I usually have to eat at the pace of whoever I am with. Food almost always ends up on my chest or lap. Inevitably ruining my undeniably swaggy outfit. That is until some genius invented the Obi Robot which?gives me the autonomy to feed myself with the push of a button. Now I am pretty much a gluttonous, independent, able-bodied, walking little stud muffin. Sitting down to have a meal with my little baby boo bear?@leslie.anne.hope?is a bit sweeter with a little help from my day 1 homie?@obirobot." Happy Valentine's Day Week! ???? Sharing a meal with the ones you love= priceless! Wonderful video by our friend Cruise Bogle! #assistivetechnology #obirobot #independenteating #durablemedicalequipment #quadriplegia
